People I quote in "Trump the Press"

I am one click away from approving for publication "Trump the Press" in print. That will happen on Friday.

Kindle comes later, which is out of my hands. I wish it went the other way. Nevertheless, it will be available on Amazon on Friday.
I extensively researched the topic, and I quote 320 people. I never got around to counting the number of direct quotes, but the total likely is 400. The book is 73,128 words long stretching over 254 pages. Estimated reading time: five hours. Took a little longer to write. At one point, the book was 120,000 words long. The delete key is the writer's best tool. The writing began January 9, when I realized the experts had no clothes this year. I finished writing on May 9, but proofreading and typesetting took around seven weeks. It was worth it.

The price is $19.99 for print. Kindle will be $4.99. I will autograph copies for $20 with free shipping in the United States. Email me at DonSurber@GMail.com.

Also, I will want reviews on Amazon.

Those quoted include a porn star, two Nobel laureates, an interaction designer, a cartoonist, a pope, an actor, and hundreds of political experts, most of whom were wrong, wrong, and wrong again.
